Samsung and Adidas team up for miCoach fitness phone

Share

Shame it wasn’t introduced in January, but if your fitness resolution is still going strong later this month, you might want a Samsung miCoach phone to monitor your progress.

A collaboration with Adidas, it’s described as ‘the first true sports music mobile’, featuring a stride sensor, heart rate monitor and a 2-inch LCD screen showing information on speed/calories burnt. There’s also training tips and time updates, including an option to get messages from a personal coach (which seems to involve such obvious statements as ‘speed up’ or ’15 minutes left’).

Add to that a music option that plays music to fit with your movement, rugged keys, 2MP camera, 1GB memory, USB/Bluetooth options and colour choices of Dark Gray, Tech Silver, Pink Red, Cool Gray, Sapphire Blue, Misty Blue and Sweet Pink. No news on a price as yet – but as it’s launching soon, might be worth checking with your phone seller of choice.
